I'm new to this message board, but thought I'd post this question that has been driving me crazy for years:

Why does the floor layout of the Cunningham house look different in the later seasons? The staircase has moved as well as the fireplace....bizarre! Anyone else notice this? It drives me wild, i can't sleep at night until i get a proper answer.

Thanks and happy holidays.

Considering the Cunninghams always lived in the *same* house... that question is pretty hard to answer! Atleast it is for me *g* I don't know why they changed the layout--maybe it worked better for the storylines.

It always amazes me how things can get so obviously changed & they think we don't notice ::coughChuck'sdisappearancecough::

I wouldn't worry too much about it ;-)

~*~*~Happy Holidays~*~*~

------------------
Fonzie~ Bull makes the world go 'round
Squiggy~ Two's company... three's a felony
Lenny~ Ah, sleep, nature's way of saying... lie down
Micky~ Not bad for a long haired weirdo, huh, America?
Ryan~ Next time I'll actually get a pogo stick
Mike (defending Ryan & his bright orange shirt)~ Don't mess with the Neon Love Chicken!

In Garry Marshall's autobiography it says that in the first season they wanted more of a documentary-type filming. They didn't have an audience, either. But when they switched to having a studio audience, the way they layout was the actors would be coming onto the set from the audience, so they had to change the layout a bit so they could walk in facing the audience.

"Well, Laverne is sort of childish" -Shirley

"Childish? Childish? Coming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!" -Laverne

"Well at least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!" -Shirley

"Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!" -Laverne

I notice that the dinning room disappeared after the 1975 season, & the family ate in the dining room. I guess, they wanted to make the situation more of a close-in nature. Also, I notice that the ceiling is missing in later years (in the first year you can see it in a few episodes). That's probably so that they could fit the cameras in somehow. I also wonder if the scenes in Fonzies apartment, the living room & the scenes at Arnold's were actually next door to each other. that would have made sense anyway.

DID YOU ALSO NOTICE THAT THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS ARE BOTH ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE HOUSE?ON THE OLD SET THEY WERE ON OPPOSITE SIDES.I'M SURE THIS WAS DONE TO MAKE ENTRANCES AND EXITS EASIER, BUT IT SURE LOOKS DUMB!

MAR,
I think that door in the kitchen was more of a *side* door than a back door.

Still, I can't imagine why the front door had to be moved.

Art, if you read the reply I posted quite a while ago in this topic, it says why the front door was moved.

------------------
Shirley: Well, Laverne is sort of childish
Laverne: Childish? Childish? Coming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat?
Shirley: At least I don't sew L's on everything I wear!
Laverne: Well that would be pretty stupid considering your name's Shirley!

Michael: At what time was I born, Mother?
Mrs. Darling: Why, you were born at two o'clock in the nighttime, Dearest
Michael: Oh Mother, I hope I didn't wake you!

Laverne,
I still don't see it. On the old set, they walked in facing the audience, too . . . only from a little different angle.




------------------

Shooting a show in front an audience, with three or four cameras (as they did from season 3 on) is much different than shooting without an audience and only one camera (the first two seasons). The sets have to be bigger and much more open, so the audience can see everything. The house during the first two seasons was not as open, and there was no way they could use that set to shoot in front of an audience.

The front door was moved because that wall was no longer there -- the audience now looked through where that wall was supposed to be.

TV Guy,
Thanks. I knew there HAD to be a logical explanation.

Ok, this isnt as funny as the other one, But i think i must continue on the legacy of that story. So here is my Unofficial, Part 2.





*Just An hour after Richie ran Chuck over Richie and Fonzie are standing outside of Arnolds waiting when Potsie and Ralph come up wearing dirty clothes.*

Richie: Did you bury the evidence?

Potsie: Sure did, Nobodys gonna find the body where we hid it.

Richie: Good

Fonzie: Richie, I Know the guy was a jerk, But i think you went a little bit overboard. Now i think we should be cool here and report this to the police, Im ure if you confess theyll go easy on you

Richie: Oh No, Im not doing that

Fonzie: Richie i seriously think its what you need to do

Richie: No.....NO! AND YOUR NOT GOING TO MAKE ME

*Richie shoves Fonzie*

Fonzie: I know your my best friend and all, But if i wee you i wouldnt do that again

Richie: SHUT UP! IM SICK OF YOU TELLING ME WHAT TO DO, IM NOT GONNA BE PUSHED AROUND ANYMORE BUCKO, ....And i dont care how cool you think you are, if you even think about reporting me to the cops ill make sure you get the same treatment Chuck did.

*Fonzie looks into Richies eyes and sees furious rage, Fonzie for the first time in his life experiences fear and backs off*

Richie: And that goes for you both too!

*Ralph and Potsie nod their heads. The 4 walk off when suddenly Bag walks out of the shadow and gets a shocked look on his face. One year later Richie is at Arnolds with Potsie and Ralph when Bag walks up to them*

Bag: Ive held it in long enough

Ralph: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? WE DID NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Richie: What are you talking about Bag?

Bag: I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER!

Potsie: Oh No.....

Bag: And i cant hold this in anymore, Im going to the police

Richie: Bag...Cant we talk about this?

Bag: Well.....

Richie: Come On Bag, Lets go for a little ride and have a little talk.

Bag: Well......Ok

Richie: Ill see you guys later

*Richie and Bag walk out of Arnolds. Hours later Richie walks back into Arnolds and Potsie and Raph are still sitting their, This time Fonzie is with them.*

Ralph: Wheres Bag?

Richie: Bag Who?

*Suddenly a girl comes running in Arnolds*

Girl: OH MY GOD, EVERYONE.....BAG IS DEAD!

*Everyone looks surprised, Richie gets a huge grin on his face*

Fonzie: *Whpering* Did you do this?

Richie: I Found My Thril....On Blueberry Hill.....Too Bad Bag didnt when i threw him off of it.

Potsie: RICHIE.....YOUR A MONSTER!

Richie: HA HA HA HA HA

Fonzie: THATS IT...IVE HAD ENOUGH, YOU CANT GET AWAY WITH THIS

*Fonzie gets up and attempts to hit Richie, But Richie catches it and laughs.*

Richie: *In Deep DeVoice* FOOLISH MORTAL, YOU CANNOT HARM ME

*Fonzie gets a look of horror on his face as Richie's hed begins spinning around like crazy*

Richie: HA HA HA HA HA

*One hour later Arnolds is burnt to the ground as Richie stands over the ashes laughing. Suddenly an unknown person in a trenchcoat appears, he takes off the hat but only so that Richie, and nobody watching the show can see.*

Man: You have done well Richie. Now Get in the ship, we have many other planets t conquer.

Richie: Yes...Master

*Richie walks off and the man begins laughing, He than looks into the screen revealing that the man is.....ALF!*

By the way, If that was inappropriate at all, feel free to delete it, But please dont ban me. :eek:
